The moment the bodyguard’s feet left the ground, he could not help but scream in horror.
He subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab his companion, but once these mutated creatures had caught their prey, they would not give him another chance.
Before the people next to him could reach out to grab him, he was torn apart by a group of mutant creatures and lifted off the bowstring.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of them swarmed up and covered the surface of his body firmly. The chilling sound of biting rang out again and quickly drowned out the bodyguard’s screams.
Song Qingxin’s heart sank. There were too many of them, and it was impossible to kill them all with brute force.
What’s more, they had the ability to fly, which was the most difficult to guard against. Once they were dragged into the air, only death would await them.
“Save …” The bodyguard’s cries for help and screams were mixed with the biting sounds. He was in the air, and he couldn’t even struggle and roll to get rid of them like before.
The thick protective suit lasted less than ten seconds under such an attack, ah … The bodyguard’s shrill and painful cry was obviously different from his previous cry for help. It sounded more painful.
However, the mutant creatures covered the surface of his body, and the people looking down could hardly see what kind of injury he had suffered, which inevitably made them even more frightened.
Under the night sky, the bodies of these mutated animals almost blended into the darkness, and the bodyguard’s screams quickly stopped.
There were also many grayish-brown animals crawling on the ground, trying to climb up everyone’s legs to feast on their food.
Song qingxiao stomped her feet to prevent these things from attaching to her. She raised the deformed shovel in her hand and shoveled the densely-packed mutant creatures into the sea.
It was convenient for her to have this tool in her hand, and she quickly cleared a small space beside her.
However, there were too many mutant creatures. As soon as she cleared the area, a large number of mutant creatures quickly filled up the empty space.
“This won’t do.”
The crew-cut man and the others were also exhausted. The smell of blood in the air was getting stronger and stronger, which also made these things more restless and excited.
The bodyguards trembled with fear. With the previous bodyguard being pulled into the air as a living example, no one dared to make any unnecessary movements. Their hands held on to the fixed parts of the hull, as if they were afraid that they would be pulled off the ground if they let go.
Boss Zhou had sent someone out, but he didn’t show up in person.
Although the trial-takers had killed some of the mutant creatures, what they had killed was nothing compared to the mutant creatures that were currently attached to the ship.
The ship was almost completely covered by the mutant creatures, but there were still many flying over. The tilting of the ship did not improve, but instead became more serious.
“We can’t kill them all if this continues.”
The crew-cut man’s face was gloomy, but he didn’t dare to stop.
“I have to think of another way.”
They were moving too slowly, and the boat was slanted, so they couldn’t stand steadily.
The bodyguard held onto a fixed object on the boat with one hand to stabilize his body, and at the same time, he had to free his hands to Pat the things on his body. He could not take care of himself and could not help.
Song Qing looked at the mutated creatures that were crawling on the ground and pondered.
She found a problem. Although these things could fly, once they landed, they seemed to lose the ability to fly. They were almost crawling on their thin legs. It was only under special circumstances that they could take off again.
“What is it?”
Number seven asked, panting.
She couldn’t hide the anger in her words. She looked at song qingxiao a few times with hostility in her eyes, as if it was song qingxiao’s fault that they came out.
now that we’ve been tricked out, Mr. Zhou and the others are not coming out,” she said. She paused for a moment, then raised the thing in her hand and smacked a few mutant creatures that tried to get close to her to death. After a short rest, she screamed.
A mutated creature attached to the cabin fell down under the crowd of its own kind and landed on No. 7’s shoulder. It bit on No. 7’s shoulder at lightning speed.
Although number seven reacted in time and pulled the mutant creature off her neck, threw it on the ground, and smacked it to death, two teeth marks were still left on her shoulder, and blood was still flowing out.
As soon as the smell of blood came out, the other mutant creatures seemed to have smelled the delicious food. Some of the mutant creatures that had been rushing toward the cabin gave up on pouncing on the ship and flew toward No. 7.
Number seven instinctively lowered his head to look at the wound on his shoulder, not realizing the danger that was coming.
She still remembered what song qingxiao had told her. All the creatures on the island and nearby islands had been infected, and their genes had mutated. If the infected animals were injured, they might be infected by the virus.
She was already terrified by the strange fish’s wound, and now that she was bitten, she almost forgot where she was.
Even though number seven had forgotten, the others had not.
The crew-cut guy and the others seemed to be even more excited when they saw that number seven was injured. They looked at each other, but before number seven could react, number six had already raised his shovel and hit number seven.
Even though number seven was worried about her wound, she was still someone who had survived several scenes in the trial space.
The moment number six moved, she had already sensed the killing intent. She subconsciously twisted her body to Dodge, but it was too late.
Young man number six’s shovel was about to reach number Seven’s body. He had an evil intention. He didn’t want to kill, but only wanted to hurt.
At present, it could be confirmed that the smell of humans, especially the smell of blood, was very attractive to this group of strange mutant creatures. Number six should have the idea of injuring number seven and using the mutant creatures to carry him away and kill him.
Firstly, if No. 7 died at the hands of a mutant creature, she would be the first participant to die after entering the scenario. It was likely that her death would trigger the mission.Secondly, once she was injured, the mutated creatures would focus on her and relieve the pressure on the others.
All the trial-takers were well aware of number six’s intentions, but they were all waiting to watch a good show.
Everyone thought that No. 7 would not be able to escape. After all, she had been injured earlier, and No. 6’s attack had happened at the last moment. They had formed an alliance before. In the face of a large number of mutant creatures, No. 7 stood very close to him, back to back, and they had the intention of helping each other.
In this situation, number six’s sneak attack was hard to guard against. Song qingxiao thought that if she was in number Seven’s position and number six suddenly attacked, even if she had the ‘Lin’ spell, she might not be able to use it in time.
However, this was also a key problem. After going through two trials, she was very guarded against trial-takers and would not easily trust others. No matter what, she would always have a backup plan for self-defense. She did not believe that number seven would not do that.
She had a feeling that No. 7 wouldn’t die so easily, and the mission prompt might not be activated at this time..
